I had forgotten just how awful his artwork was until I started going through my books again recently.

Just...wow.

He makes Burles look good.

No... no he doesn't. He may have issues, but he can draw a human without a huge techno-organic headdress.

without a techno-organic headdress? What kind of freaky people do you live around?

Burles is completely over the top, that is without question. Stylistically, he sucks. But at least he can draw.

But Breaux is just bad at art. His proportions are screwy, he lacks any kind of creativity, the shading looks like utter shit and.. goddamn. It's just bad.

I'll say one good thing for Breaux.
He's still better than the kevins (siemsomething and long)

Even the stuff I don't like, I kinda like.

I'm a sell out, I guess.

I find his Robotech work to be excellent, myself.

Some of his animal head races are good, others are crap. I like his vehicles in Mercenaries, come to think of it. His humans though...they can be very iffy.

The thing with Breaux is that I think he can draw some pretty awesome equipment. Guns, armour, robots, power armour, that sort of thing. But that is it. Anytime he tries to draw organics they just don't look good.

Look at Breax's pencils.
If you can find his work before he tries to ink it, it's actually some of the best pieces Palladium has.

But good god almighty, the man needs to hire an inker/colorist. Everytime he inks one of his drawings, it comes out looking like ass.

Considering how long his next fucking book has been languishing on the backburner, maybe that's what he did.

Seriously, NMI had a copy of the book to use for his Open House game in fucking 2008. Where is my goddamn Atorian Empire book! Fuck.

I liked Burles in Earthdawn, but it definitely fit the flavor of the world more, and when I first saw him in palladium I was Shocked

"neat, it's that one guy from Earthdawn... Confused

wait...this sucks for Rifts Mad

"

no really it happened just like that

Can't say I miss Breaux all that much but - I know that this is going to draw some flaming shit my way - dang, I miss Kevin Long. The guy is a more than decent b&w draftsman (even if his colour work belongs on some sort of cartoon-licensed cereal box), and did a lot to visually shape some of the more iconic Rifts elements; I'm thinking most early era "tech-toys" like the original Dead Boy, GB and SAMAS. When I first glanced through the CWC and FQ worldbooks, I was just... shocked by some of the things I found in there.

But I also miss Martin, Perez (been a while since I saw a non-recycled Perez piece), and Ewell, so that sort of leaves me in a no-win situation with the art these days.

The Novastar · Posted: Sun Jul 26, 2009 2:33 pm Post subject:

Well, Vince Martin apparently doesn't professionally draw anymore, last I heard. A shame, since he's bar none my favorite Palladium artist. Crying or Very sad

Last I heard, Perez was still in an exclusive contract with DC comics (along with Freddie Williams, another favorite). So no new (professional) art from either, and it'd actually be pretty bad if that changed...

Not remembering Ewell at all, honestly. What books do you find his/her pieces?

I met Newton at A-Kon back in 2002. He was a cool guy and we commiserated about his Palladium work. I think he was excited that someone there knew who he was, outside of the A-Kon staff.

Like the Metzla?

The Metzla, most of the Kittani stuff - pure Newton. I would have loved to have seen his takes on Kittani material of recent years.

Definitely good on Ramon with the DC thang; just got back from checking some of that out, and tis good.

Palladium should have used Dubisch as much as they could, imo.
